I have information to contribute to the profile of Edmund Berry. This is what I can find. i was working on undated wikitree profiles and came across this pre-1700 one. Can someone see if there are better sources. I only found references to Ancestry Family trees which are not reliable sources. 

 Thank you!

The first serious issue with the profile is that there were not any immigrants in the Burlington area of New Jersey in 1617. The area, in West Jersey (not New Jersey), was settled late 1670s.

There were a few Berry families in the PGM but none named Edmund (per Anderson). An Edmund Berry is found in Sandwich, Barnstable in 1643. Source (Subscription):
